Clothespin Magnets

I got this idea one day when I was looking at my fridge thinking that I wanted a better, more colorful way to display my kids’ art. This craft is simple, easy and useful. Enjoy!

You can use scrapbook paper, newspaper or just plain colored construction paper to cover the clips. I might even use food labels next time to hang my grocery list!
